Established Country-Specific Overseas Alumni Associations

In 2025, two country-specific overseas alumni associations were established under the Kagoshima University International Alumni.
Kagoshima University has long welcomed international students from across the globe, resulting in a diverse and far-reaching alumni community. As of April 2026, approximately 500 alumni have registered with the Kagoshima University International Alumni Network, which was established prior to the launch of the overseas alumni associations.

It is anticipated that additional country-specific overseas alumni associations will continue to be established in due course, thereby further strengthening the ties between Kagoshima University and its international alumni, as well as enhancing mutual engagement and solidarity among alumni members worldwide.

Alumni groups interested in establishing a country-specific overseas alumni association, as well as individuals wishing to connect with existing associations, are kindly requested to contact the office listed below.

On January 8, 2026, Indonesia Alumni Meeting was held at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Many alumni gathered from across Indonesia, including Dr. Arif Satria, Head of BRIN (former President of IPB University and a graduate of the United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, Kagoshima University), and Prof.Luky Adrianto, President of the Indonesia Alumni Association (Chairperson of the Marine and Fisheries Research Institute at IPB University and a graduate of the United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, Kagoshima University).

From Kagoshima University, Vice President for International Affairs, Prof. Chihaya Koriyama, along with two staff members from the International Cooperation Division, attended the meeting and deepened mutual ties. With a total of approximately 70 participants, the meeting reached a scale comparable to an overseas version of Homecoming Day, clearly reflecting the high expectations placed on Kagoshima University.

During the networking session, the Certificate of Establishment for the Country-Specific Overseas Alumni Association was first presented to President Luky Adrianto. This was followed by enthusiastic discussions on the future development of the Indonesia Alumni Association and the strengthening of collaboration with Kagoshima University.

The meeting concluded successfully, with participants pledging to reunite at a future "Overseas Homecoming Day in Indonesia." (For more details on the Indonesia visit, please click here.(only Japanese version)
